qubee quilts

I W ant T o K now I asked the question today on Facebook & Twitter: Do you sew more or less this time of the year? Here are some of the answers that I have gotten: Liz Boswell more! as long as its light out side for good natural light to sew by, I am sewing! Denise Wallace I sew a lot all year long Kim Quinter I don't do heat and humidity any more than I do ice and snow. LOL (Love this answer) Ann Marie Miller Voigt more, too dang hot and humid outside, these 4-5 months of the year I do as many indoor acivities as possible. Audra Majors Less but I hope to change that. (I hope you change that too) Becky Magner Beatty I get a lot accomplished this time of year due to more natural light, it gets too hot outside and my regular tv programs are reruns! Jeanne Logosz less at the machine but more on the road and outdoors... redwork and applique. (there is that H (hand) word again - lol) Wanda Horn I make quilt tops all winter long then use my long-arm to quilt during t...

The box did say the hardest part would be taking out the old faucet and they were right. Took all of 20 minutes to put in. Have you ever noticed that when you get get ready to buy a new car you really don't see that many makes or models of it on the road, but as soon as you have bought it they pop up everywhere? I'm not sure if there has always been the same number out there and once we own it are more in tune to it or what. Mind you, I'm not saying it a bad thing at all. In fact I like seeing more and knowing that I am not alone out there in my decision. The same thing goes for quilting too. Sometimes I like to think of a pattern and find fabric that will go with it and then others, I like to pick fabric and find just the right pattern to go with it. Either by dreaming it up or seeing something somewhere that leads me to just the right pattern. Then there are those times that you're just not really sure where the idea came from, it was just there for you. We a...

I've been super busy the last few days working on a top secret project that I can't show you. You will just have to wait until fall to see it. A funny thing did happen, I was quilting the project and only had two rows of stitching to go and I ran completely out of thread. Top and bottom at the same time. What are the odds? I should play the lottery. If only I was that lucky. I'm working on some quick quilts that I can display on the walls of my quilt room. A few sneak peek at what I'm doing. I'm not 100% happy with the way this has turned out. I'm going to have to come up with a Plan B for this one. Inspiration can come from anywhere. I took this picture the other day with my iPhone. Would you look at all those yummy colors. I'm thinking of making a quilt using these colors. Until next time,

Ryan and I are so happy that we get to FINALLY share photos of the quilt we made for Spring Quilt Market 2011 ! We’ve spent the better part of 3 weeks fighting the urge to let it all out and spill the beans! It all started in February of this year when I interviewed Kari Ramsay for a feature on Ryan Walsh Quilts . She and I emailed a few times after the interview and talked about her new line coming up called Daisy Dance. I mentioned that P2 would LOVE to make a quilt using her fabrics and that was about it. A few months later, Kari contacted me again and asked if we’d still like to make a quilt for her. I politely replied, “YOU BET I WOULD!!” And it was at that time we were sworn to secrecy… You see, this line was so secretive, that not even the reps had been given papers previewing it. It was all “your eyes only” and between me, her and Henry Glass. This is where I started getting REAL excited. A few weeks later, Kari emailed me the images of her fabrics and...

Angela sent Ryan some pictures of a quilt he put together for the latest Patchwork Squared pattern, named Bookworm. Didn't she do an awesome job with the quilting? It is a smaller version using 1 charm pack of Just Wing It! by Momo and various Kona solids. You can find the pattern here in issue 5 of Fat Quarterly ! I just love this quilt.   Until next time,

NO, were not going to talk about the TV show on TLC, but a blog and body overhalin' I went & saw the pulmonary doctor yesterday & she reminded me again that I am so lucky to be here. She is also the same doctor that come & saw me in the hospital and would yell at me to get up out of bed & stop feeling sorry for myself. She said If I didn't start walking again I may never walk again. She said " I want you to get your ass out of bed and walk 3 times a day mister" The next day she would come see me again and ask if I had walked. It was rough I would tell her, but I did it or that I only made it twice. Her reply would be "I told you three times a day and I'm going to make the nurses walk you if you don't. At times I thought I was going to die. She said "good, my orders are working then". Damn, she was rough on me, but she would not give up. Here I thought she was full of it, but after all she did know what she was talking a...

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there in blog land. We couldn't do it without you. Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. ~Author Unknown Don't you just love spring and all that it brings? I was thinking spring when I picked out these colors. I want to make a small quilt to hang on my barren walls. I'm going to have some diagonal yellow four-patch blocks then off set it with another block. I don't have any idea what block it is going to be yet. I just know the fabric I'm going to use. As some of you may know I had taken the stash pact11 challenge and that is to only use my stash to make quilt projects for the year of 2011. I have blogged about it here , but it seems I have fallen of that bandwagon. I bought some what I would call basic fabric at Burgundy Buttons when they were having a big sale and I just could not pass these great fabrics up. With the price of fabric going up you h...
